Martin's been busy with tons of updates and still coming up with new spin devices. Any LX Pro users out there willing to give a review?

If you stop action on two of his iron shots (between the 2:50 and 3:30 mark in video) it clearly shows a pull to the left center of his screen by 2 foot, yet the ball start online or slightly right of center and slices. Maybe its just a optical illusion?

[Maverick]

I saw that too. The ball clearly hit about 6-8 degrees left of the screen while the ball started at center in the game. Also, every single shot he hit was a fade or slice. One of his excuses for not putting out the video months ago was that he needed time to make a professional looking video. I don't see anything professional about this video.

He should have used a golfer that can hit draws and fades on demand. And more importantly, the software needs to show the spin numbers. I don't want to hear club face data. If the spin numbers are only available on the interface, then he needs blow that up so viewers can see them clearly.

Also, video cameras will tend to pickup IR flashes. I didn't see any of that. I'm not saying the LX wasn't on, just wondering why we didn't see any flashes.

I agree, not the best video. But a video non the less. As you say he needs to show hooks, draws, fades and slices with corresponding spin data. As well ball speed, launch angle and horizontal azimuth. Perhaps he sends us a unit to test and post a video!

[Maverick]

He will never send us units to test because we know too much....lol...

[Bubba22]

Your right. I'm down in Naples in 2 weeks. Gonna pay Martin a visit!

[Maverick]

Try to test the LX if you can.

[Bubba22]

That's the plan. Hopefully he lets me!

[Bubba22]

There now is an LX Elite and LX Crossfire. Neve ends!!

[Maverick]

I guess the Crossfire is the new name for the Bcam. Bcam is just a cheaper LX? One camera to measure spin maybe.

He's starting to confuse me.

[Bubba22]

Confusing indeed my friend!

[Bubba22]

Had a chance to hang out with Martin down in Naples. Tested the LXPro as well as the CX3. He also showed me the new LX Crossfire. Martin was a very nice guy. I will be spending another afternoon with him as well. The LXPro actually works ok. The only area that needs work is the horizontal azimuth. He needs to improve the ability to detect he ball six to determine the left or right. Other than that, the ball speed, launch angle, spin and spin axis was very good. The interface actually shows the ball capture and calculations. The CX3 with the club cam is not bad. The 2 stickers easily at showing the streak in the interface and that determines the club path and face angle. hooks, draws we're easily detected. I must say it is not bad. I had a long discussion with Martin about his company support commitments.

The real question is, after testing would you buy this over say the mystery LM. I think I would still avoid it due to the past history of issues with support etc.

[Bubba22]

No I would not.

Can you clarify these two statements? I can't decypher the typos.

He needs to improve the ability to detect he ball six to determine the left or right.

The 2 stickers easily at showing the streak in the interface and that determines the club path and face angle.

[Bubba22]

The problem with th LXPro is the horizontal azimuth. He needs to improve the detection of th ball size tha determines the left right determination.

The club cam requires 2 stickers that are easily detected on the overhead camera.
